DETROIT (AP) — Henrik Zetterberg had two goals and an assist, and Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall each had a goal and two assists to lead the Detroit Red Wings in a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night.

Todd Bertuzzi also scored for Detroit, which had three power-play goals to snap its 0-for-10 season-opening man-advantage skid. Daniel Alfredsson had three assists and Jimmy Howard made 32 saves.

Kronwall’s power-play goal with 8:52 left in the second period gave Detroit a 2-0 lead. Kronwall’s first goal of the season came on a wrist shot from the left circle.

Gustafsson put Philadelphia on the board just 34 seconds later when his floating wrist shot from the right point found its way into the net.

Datsyuk restored the two-goal lead with his power-play goal 3:08 into the third period, beating Emery with a backhand shot from the slot that was screened by Bertuzzi.

McGinn made it 3-2 with his first NHL goal, 2:38 later. He backhanded a rebound in from the slot after being called up from the minors earlier in the day.

Zetterberg scored with 6:12 remaining and added an empty-netter in the final minute.

Bertuzzi opened the scoring, with the Red Wings’ first power-play goal of the season, 7:13 into the game. He put a wrap-around effort past Emery for Bertuzzi’s first goal, just 24 seconds after Michael Raffl went off for hooking.

NOTES: Flyers C Vincent Lecavalier (lower body) and LW Scott Hartnell (upper body) both were out after being injured in Friday night’s 2-1 loss to Phoenix. Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren said Hartnell is out two to four weeks and Lecavalier will miss a week. … Philadelphia recalled LW Raffl and LW Tye McGinn from Adirondack of the AHL on Saturday. … Detroit D Brendan Smith was a healthy scratch and was replaced by Brian Lashoff in the lineup. RW Jordin Tootoo made his season debut (he began the season on IR due to a shoulder injury). He was on the fourth line along with C Luke Glendening, who made his NHL debut after being recalled from the Grand Rapids of the AHL. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock also shook up his other lines after two losses in which Detroit played poorly. … Detroit signed F Anthony Mantha, it’s first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, to a three-year entry-level contract. Mantha is with Val d’Or of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. .
